Chapter 8 - Outing With Mia

• And so it was that in less than half an hour we found ourselves in another club of a very different nature, there were no longer wealthy people or people looking to undress us from the few clothes that we also wore, or if they did, they didn't show it too much as was the case in The House of sees it .
• It was just people who were with us at the same age, having fun between glasses of alcohol and dancing with each other, something that we didn't usually do but that we enjoy when it happens.
• Two shots please - I shouted out.
• It didn't take long for him to serve us what we had ordered, we both grabbed a shot and toasted while smiling at each other.
• Despite not being in our usual environment, we were stealing the glances of more than one man, maybe it was my electric blue dress that reached halfway between my hips and my knees, or Mía's black jumpsuit that was It hugged her entire body and had a great neckline that highlighted her bust.
• We were the fucking queens. We looked like the true Greek goddesses we were.
• We went to the middle of the dance floor when we had already consumed about six or seven shots, the truth is that the number mattered little because the night was just beginning: Mia had relaxed a lot, it was not difficult to notice that her muscles were no longer tense when She could be seen dancing, moving her hair in all directions while she tried to imitate such a movement with her arms. It comforted me to know that at least I had managed to stop my friend from being so aware of the recent event.
• We danced close to each other, she was about fifteen centimeters shorter than me. We did it like the dances that some heterosexual couples did in the place that made us think that they were in a mere sexual act because of the way they made their movements, we rubbed each other in more than one position while we tried to continue drinking from the last great glass of alcohol that we had bought.
• We stole a lot of looks too, clearly. Although it was not something that interested me since the only thing I wanted for the night was our fun, I was clear that it was somewhat inevitable.
• It wasn't long before other men asked us to dance with them. It felt different from what our work was, here it was just fun even if they had the same or worse intentions than those who frequented “ The house of love ”.
• It was just different and enjoyable to be able to enjoy the company we really wanted to accept and not have to settle for “Chew and Swallow” accepting whoever came along. We could feel free will to choose and not have to accept because we no longer have an option.
• I got drunk, not enough to not be aware of everything but enough to laugh excessively at the simple things in my context. It all felt fun and somewhat euphoric, the feeling felt really nice.
• I lost count of the number of men and women I had kissed that night. Drunkenness is not always the best company nor does it lead us to make the best decisions. But I'm not going to deny by saying that I needed a night like this for a long time and I didn't realize it.
• From one moment to the next I lost Mia, I had not realized the exact moment in which that had happened. We had agreed that if one of us left for any reason we would notify the other immediately, it was our general rule for the times we went out even though they weren't that frequent either. But he hadn't given me a single sign and there was no trace of any message or missed call from him on my phone.
• I began to move among the group of people around me while shouting his name, my voice being completely overshadowed by the high volume of the music that was playing in the background. Suddenly my state of intoxication transformed into one of lucidity and things no longer changed. They were giving me the same laugh as before. I was really worried.
• I walked about five meters around the perimeter to my initial position without leaving any side unchecked, but despite that I couldn't find her and the only thing I ended up achieving was making me worry more about my friend.
• But the music was just booming and no one seemed to care about my desperation. He needed to know that she was healthy and safe.
• I ran as fast as I could to the part with the least crowds of people, I got on one of the speakers looking for her but her height didn't help me much either and the vertigo I felt due to my drunkenness didn't help me in the search either.
• Think Nova, think - I repeated to myself.
• I felt like something bad was happening and my sixth sense rarely failed. I just hoped that this time I had made a serious mistake.
• I headed towards the bathroom area to find a long line of women with little empathy who did not let me go far enough to know if she was in the bathroom, luckily the girl who was first in line asked if She was inside and they told me no. I wasn't going to settle for that anyway.
• I needed to think and cool my head.
• That's when I found a small hallway that seemed to lead nowhere and with all the courage in the world I went down it. It was as if my sixth sense told me that I should go for it. It was a little difficult to get through, it seemed like it led to a cleaning or storage area. When I managed to get to the end I found Mia lying on the floor squinting, she still had her clothes on but she didn't seem conscious enough to be able to react to what she was doing.
• How vulnerable I felt for both of them.
• I took a broomstick that was resting on the wall and hit the back of his head without hesitation.
• What the fuck are you doing? - I screamed.
• Unfortunately for me, my blow hadn't even tickled him, I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I placed my defensive weapon as if it were a spear, pointing the end that had just been broken towards his body, towards the center of his chest to be exact.
• Don't you dare touch his fucking hair - I threatened.
• Do you really think you're going to do something to me with that? - The man stated.
• His build was large and he was at least a head taller than me, he was clearly at a disadvantage but he was clear that he would never abandon Mia in a situation like this, he would not abandon anyone in something like this and that was what gave me enough strength. to stick with that idea no matter how crazy it seemed.
• I launched a sharp blow with the desire to try to touch him but I was unsuccessful with that, the only thing I achieved was that he had even more power over me. I began to feel a little more dizzy than I already felt, my vision began to get blurry and little by little I felt how my legs were fighting not to defeat themselves, they were fighting to stay upright and I didn't understand what was happening. What was happening, how did I suddenly start to feel this way? I was affraid.
• What the fuck did you do? - I claimed.
• It was when I noticed that he had covered his face, that's when I understood that he had drugged her and I had no doubt that he would do it to me too. My heart was racing and the whole environment seemed confusing and strange, with every second that passed I was becoming more dissociated from reality and I practically didn't feel anything when he squeezed my arm to bend me to the same place where Mia was.
• I was afraid of not being able to perceive any type of pressure on my body.
• Get out of here, you scourge - I got to hear.
• I couldn't make out any clear shapes or patterns, everything gradually became darker until I couldn't see, hear or feel anything anymore.
